takeiteasy,
Sadly, there seem to be too many braindead leftists on here who will make excuses for Biden no matter what he does

Not true, person who showed up just to insult people. People here think even when they disagree. They don't worship Biden and often disagree with what he says or does unlike the way Republicans worshipped Trump and defended his every asinine easily disproved statement and morally repugnant action. You would know and acknowledge that if you were around more and were honest. Sadly you are not. Sadly you are just another Republican incapable of cogent discussion falling back on unimaginative and untrue insult.

The fact that you think this about republicans / Trump supporters shows you don't actually understand them very well. The majority of republicans I've known have been critical of Trump even if they supported him, some didn't support him at all. It just comes across as out of touch when people make this claim that basically all republicans "worship" him.
And before you start making too many assumptions about me, I considered myself more left-leaning until maybe 5 years ago when I started to recognize the blatant lies from the leftwing media and the hostility / censorship towards anyone with a differing opinion. It's just getting really old now

What leftwing media? You mean the giant corporations who are funded by other giant corporations?
I can't see how if you didn't think they were objective enough you'd somehow gravitate in the direction of FOX News. FOX News is straight up a propaganda arm of a specific political party. It's like Pravda was in the USSR. Big Business was lying to you so you tuned into nightly party propaganda broadcasts instead to get the real scoop?
Relevant Documentaries:
The Brain Washing of My Dad (Family Documentary). Note this is Pre-Trump, Pre-QAnon etc. The current shit is just this, but accelerated:

Also: "biden lovers" really? Looking through the start of this thread about the most positive thing was that he's a geriatric dodderer but marginally less awful than Trump, and then pointing out how "less awful than Trump" is a super low bar to even cross.
I really haven't heard even a single person who's ever said Biden was their first choice, let alone even a "biden lover". About the best way to describe is that Biden is a shit sandwich, but the alternative was a broken glass sandwich, so people chose the shit sandwich.

But now that the right is building a monopoly on blatant lies and armed to the teeth hostility, you see no value in switching back, or going neutral. You double down for T***p instead.
One cannot support T***p to any degree and demand political nuance from across the aisle at the same time. That is industrial scale hypocrisy right there.

Biden is like this era's Jimmy Carter: lackluster and uninspiring even on his best days, but there's a feeling of grand relief that we've at least stopped the profuse bleeding and (hopefully) stabilized the political situation enough to get our affairs into some basic order and (even more hopefully) make sufficient preparations for avoiding an even greater insurrection attempt in the next election.

Funny but the ones I know love him so much they come into forums and alienate everyone right away by calling people "braindead leftists" right off the bat without provocation or any semblance of truth.

BTW some analysis by David Pakman (video is 7 minute)
[video=youtube;reImjnJgDhI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reImjnJgDhI[/video]
Unemployment fell from 6.8% since Biden was sworn in, to 3.6% now.
However many more polled Americans believe unemployment went up, not down. Only 28% of surveyed respondents actually correctly stated that unemployment fell. This is not a opinion thing: it's a matter of fact.
Trump, recall was boasting about record low unemployment when it was 3.5%
So the supposed "pro-Biden" "liberal" media bias isn't doing a whole lot to actually inform people of things that are actually going well under Biden.
The difference is that if this was FOX and a Republican was in, they'd be having nightly reports about how well the unemployment figures are going, and almost zero coverage of things like fuel prices. But you don't get anything like that sort of constant "boosterism" style reporting on CNN. For example, right now on the front page of CNN the only Biden stories are one about Trump digging for dirt on Hunter Biden, and one about how Obama overshadowed Biden at the recent press conference. There are literally no "Biden is the great leader and here are all the great things Biden is doing" articles, even though they COULD easily put one of those together by churning out reports and opinion pieces highlighting the great unemployment numbers.

Ugh, I hate still seeing that odious podium placard that still has "88" plastered on it as if people don't know that's transparent white supremacy code for "Heil Hitler" (and "22" is victory or what other word do you think "V" is for?) with the flimsiest basis for plausible deniability. :eww:
